Brief Answer:
His immunity seems to be low

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

I have checked the attached image. The image is self explanatory and you need not attach further images. Candida is a fungus that grows when the immunity of the person is low. Hence that is the source of his problems. I do not think that you need to reexamine the stool. Proper and regular activity along with healthy diet is all he needs. Give him ORS (oral rehydration solution) in case he has increased bowel movements. Nothing specific needs to be done otherwise.
